Figure 8 Passing (15 mins)

Field Setup: 2 rows of cones about 10m apart; 8 or more players

Concept: Player A passes to Player B receiving on the back foot while opening hips to make pass 2 to Player C. Players follow their pass. Players should make 2 touches.

Progression:

- Players should pressure the player they've passed to. For example, after Player A makes intial pass, apply defensive pressure on Player B.

- Players pass diagonally (Pass 4) except on the ends while continuing to pressure the next player. For example, Player A passes to Player B who then passes (Pass 4) to Player D continuing to pressure after making the pass.

Coaching Points:

- First touch is important; away from pressure; longer touch on diagonal passing
